Boston Courier: II was cold and
bleak without but warm and bright
within. They sat side by side near the
glowing CRATE and watched the flicker
ing freight as it danced among the
bric-a-brac on the tables. They were
both in deep thought. and no sound
was heard save the signing Of the
wind among the trees in the orchard
and the measured tick of the ormolu
clock which rested on a bracket against
the opposite wall, and over which was
suspended snow-shoyel covered with
violet velvet and trimmed with pink
satin ribbons.
1t was not m hour nor scene for aught
But love and calm delight.
The youth was manly in appearance
and the maiden vision Of beauty, and
judging from their attitude and adj
jacency they were lovers. Suddenly
the maiden broke the silence. the
poetic silence:
Have you heard Of this new science
called chirosphy?' she asked in tones
sweeter than the musical tinkling Of
silver bell.
Il have. darling" he answered. in
accents of ineffable tenderness: ..not
only heard Of it. but have given it con-
siderable study"
Dear mc!'' exclaimed the maiden.
Il am surprised. You have studied
chirosophy? Then perhaps you will
give me some instruction IN the
science?'
Certainly, my own. Please let me
have your hand"
%. George?" murmured the maiden,
overwhelmed with confusion, and GRIM
son with bushes; ..this is SO sudden.
What is 80 sudden?" the youth
asked in surprise.
Your asking for my hand" trem-
blingly responded the maiden. but
-therc-what can do but refer You
to pa, and believe me. deareat, you need
have no fear of the result. He will
certainly consent to my becoming your
wife,
Then, throwing herself on the neck of
her lover. the maiden gave vent to her
emotions in flood of happy tears.
Let us draw the curtain over this
affecting scene.

Tight sh ,e..

A crusade ought to be waged against
wearing tight shoes. The tight shoe
in the first place cramps the toes all to-
gether, until they lose shape and become
frescoed with corns. The foot doesn't
get the free circulation of blood in it
that it should have and falls behind in
growth. The big toe usually bears the
brunt of the sin for tight shoes, and
manages to have large lump gather
just where it joins the body of the foot
The Americans are more prone to wear
tight shoes than the Englishwomen.
The French, outside of Paris, are not
devoted to the semi-barbarous habit
either. and some of our finest models
come from the provinces Of France,
Tho nobility are supposed to have small
feet and hands, but that is an erroneous
impression. rs many noble families l
could mention in England are noted for
their large feet. All American girls
feel their nobility. and hence the wish
to have small feet. To produce a race
Of perfect shaped women reform must
be made in their shoes, even il we have
to substitute the ancient sandal

Paris Letter: The Princess Wald-

Of purple. During the few days she
spent in Paris she was SO frequently
seen in purple garments that the color
has become suddenly fashionable here.
Until the other day it was looked upon
as only suitable for old ladies, and now
it rs being seen upon young girls. and
even upon children. 1t is the arMorial

A young man of 20, one of party
of hunters in Colorado, left camp to
20 out and set bear trap. He did
not return in due time, and search was
made for him. It was six days before
he was found, and then it was seen
that in setting the trap both hands had
been held until he was frozen to death.

THE ELECTION.

Over $4,000 votes in favor of a
Convention and there should be a
convention held. The opposition to
a convention, on total count, was
only 425 votes. The first drawback
against securing over fifteen thou
sand some hundred votes was, that
the election was a special one,-an
off year. There are many here.
who do not understand why an
election was held at all, and few
took no interest in the affair. This
we are sorry to note, because it was
the duty of every man to vote on
this question which affected the in
terests of all. 1t will not be long
before some of those men who did
not vote, will be talking about re-
form, and high taxes, and inefficient
office holders, and other matters
pertaining to he State. If reform is
not needed in this State-both
Municipal and State-as to the ex-
penditure and gathering in of
money, which is often injudiciously
used, we would like to know why ?
There are few men, indeed,
I
who are satisfied with the way the
Constitution gives power to the high
executive officer to appoint, good
men. Does he always do it? Can
he do it? These questions can and
have been answered hundred times
The best men of the State sup
ported convention and by the vote
Tuesday there can be but little
doubt that change will be before
many years.
1t was wrong move to make 9
special election, when full vote il
polled the question would have re-
ceived a good majority.
There should have been a person
al canvas, among a certain number
of people who did not understand
why a convention was held and the
anti-conventionists did not want
them enlightened.
Undoubtedly there is enough
votes cast to allow a convention tt
be held.
Is it really necessary that the vot,
must exceed that of 1882, to hold (
convention ? Prominet men say il
is hardly necessary.
The Convention has been taker
hold of by the best people and i
will be kept before the public unit

was supposed to be incurable. For a
great many years Doctors pronounced it
a local disease, and prescribed local rem

with local treatment pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven catarrh to
be constitutional disease, and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.

With every advance of emigration in
to the far West, a new demand is created
for Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Newly
peopled regions are frequently less salu-
brious than older settled localities, an ac-
count of the miasma which rises from
recently cleared land, particularly along
the banks of rivers that are subject to
freshets. The agricultural or mining
emigrant soon learns, when he does not
already know, that the Bitters afford the
only sure protection against malaria, and
those disorders of the stomach, liver and
bowels, to which climate changes, expos,
ure, and unaccustomed or healthy water
or diet subject him. Consequently, he

The question is asked us daily,
What are the chances of the Dean
Wooden Mills being rebuilt? To
every inquiry we have but one an
swer, There is slight indications of
the mill being rebuilt. Gladly would
we answer to the contrary, but the
hope held out is entirely too frail to
warrant it. But why harp on the
Dean Woelen Mills, the chances OF
rebuilding, etc. From what we
know now, all speculation in that
direction is valueless. There seems
but one thing to be done. If some
arrangement cannot be effected
whereby these mills be rebuilt, then
we would suggest that Mr.. John
Pilling, one of our influential citi-
zens and gentlemen of wide ex
perience in the manufacturing bust
ness, take steps to erect a large wool
en- mill, and thus give to our town {
healthy stimulus in business circles
We feel sure Mr.. Pilling will no
condemn us for making such a sug
gestion. He is just the right mar
to successfully operate such an un
dertaking.

OVER in Cecil county politics are
almost at a fighting point If the
election does not come off before
long, the candidates will wish they
were well out of the muddle. How
ever, there is not so much said
against the candidates as there is
hunting up and showing up the past.
The papers are throwing hot words
at each other, and truly the time
has arrived when a halt should be
called. The Democrat has aroused
the Wing to such an extent that the
editor uses such invectives that is
unbecoming and rather uncalled for.

Dover, a convention in an assured
fact. They declare that enough
ballots were cast to claim a two
thirds vote, and that they will only
support men for the legislature who
will be in favor ofgiving to the people
a convention. This sounds sensible
enough, and if this sentiment takes
root throughout the State, then there
